I don’t use my cell that much i would say maybe 500 minutes a month. I have a prepaid t-mobile right now and it blows. i never get any reception. I was looking around at a couple places but does anyone know anywere that is cheaper then $40 a month. I do want a nice phone though which is another problem. i like the razor and maybe the sliver. Thanks ---

ur not gonna find much for that price. prepaid is a waste of $$$$ If u can’t get a regular line due to a high deposit, Cricket would be ur best bet. ---

I don’t know about cheap, but Verizon has been nothing but amazing in terms of reception for me, and I’ve never had any other problems either. I’m sure you could get a bare minimum contract or something with them. ---

If you’re goin prepaid i’d probly say tracfone for low usage…not too bad of a price if you dont use it a lot and it uses cingulars network, a lot better than TMo ---

> [@carl5463729](#): > > I don’t use my cell that much i would say maybe 500 minutes a month. LMAO!!! I use my phone aboot 10 minutes per month. I have 6 phones on my account and we don’t even use 100 minutes total. It is just funny that you think 500 is not a lot.:lol: Are you female?😛 Edit: I forgot, Verizon reception FTW. I dumped cingular because it sucked. ---

500 minutes a month? dont go tracfone, you will get raped. i have a 450 min anytime/$40 plan, nationwide, free verizon to verizon calling, unlimited N&W, nationwide access and long distance included ---

I thought that said 50 minutes a month. 500 really isnt that low usage unless its all nights and weekends. Yeah, dont go tracfone. Get the 39.99 cingular or verizon plan if you want reception, probly cingular if you want a cool phone. You’re really not gonna get lower than that… ---

yeah, i don’t know i just started texting everyone, so i’m not at 500 a month yet, but i could get to that. I think i might just join under my friend’s plan though, it’s verizon. and my phone never has any reception, not even in or around my house. Thanks for the help though ---
